Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins -- sequel to The Hunger Games
5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this one now and reserve the next!,
This book is YA at its best. Rarely do I wait with this much anticipation for a sequel. After reading Hunger Games - one of the most circulated books in our school library -- I couldn't imagine that Suzanne Collins could duplicate that success with the second volume in the series. I was so wrong! This book was fantastic, and before you read the rest of this, go ahead and place your order for the book!
I really wasn't sure where the author would go with this second book in a planned trilogy. Where The Hunger Games left off, I thought we'd be back in District 12 planning a wedding or something. I didn't expect what transpired. So as to avoid spoilers, I can't say much more than that this novel is action packed, emotionally constructed, and brilliantly written. Suzanne Collins is a superb writer. The scenes are vividly described, the characters are the type that you want to take home, hug, and raise as family. I love Katniss, Peeta, Gale, and the entire cast and crew of this world of Panem.
Hey out there -- this would make the best movie! I was glued to the pages and raced to the end of this novel -- sad when it ended on a cliffhanger because I don't know if I can bear to wait for the next volume in this saga.
I had preordered this novel for our high school library and bought copies for my nieces and nephews. Honestly -- this is futuristic fantasy at its best. Don't miss out...and yes, you must read the prior novel in the series before you read this one to get the full impact from it and the pleasure.
READ IT NOW!

I read this book. I LOVED IT! Oh goodness, I cant wait for the third installment in the series. Catching Fire was amazing in the best sense of the word! I would read it again, just because its that good!
sounds like a wonderful book, but for not in my interest..
This was my favorite book out of the whole series! Everything about this book was absolutely perfect and it also had a great story line and plot twist too!
i loved the book, but I thought the movie was way better because it was more detailed
